MUSCLE INTERFACE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INTERACTING WITH CONTENT DISPLAYED ON WEARABLE HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAYS

摘要

There is disclosed a muscle interface device and method for interacting with content displayed on wearable head mounted displays. In an embodiment, the muscle interface device comprises a sensor worn on the forearm of a user, and the sensor is adapted to recognize a plurality of gestures made by a user's hand and or wrist to interact with content displayed on the wearable head mounted display. The muscle interface device utilizes a plurality of sensors, including one or more of capacitive EMG, MMG, and accelerometer sensors, to detect gestures made by a user. The detected user gestures from the sensors are processed into a control signal for allowing the user to interact with content displayed on the wearable head mounted display in a discreet manner.

主权项

1. A muscle interface device for interacting with content displayed on a wearable head mounted display, comprising:
a plurality of sensors that in use are worn on a portion of an arm of a user to detect signals generated by at least one muscle of the arm of the user; and a transmitter communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and which in use transmits communication signals indicative of muscle activity detected by the plurality of sensors to a receiver on the wearable head mounted display; wherein the communication signals transmitted to the receiver on the wearable head mounted display cause one or more interactions with content displayed on the wearable head mounted display.
